Dear Ere'one who reads my emails/Facebook posts/ where ever else
this is posted! haha
I have to admit that I have been slacking in Emails since I got to Owego.
Which is weird because we use the computers at the church building in the Family
History Center instead of the Library. (which is good cause that means I am not
timed on the computer haha) But I have repented and am going to write to all of
the happenings that have happened here in the Land of Owego! (Newark Valley) I
also have pictures this week as well! haha
This past week has been a pretty good and uplifting week! I have to tell
you first off of an adventure that my companion and I went on this week as we
walked home from the top of a road (hill) called Silk. We went and visited a
family up at the tippy top of this hill called Silk Rd. The area we were in is
literally all farm, trees, and just a whole bunch of nature looking stuff! haha
On the way down the hill, we decided to take a short cut across what looked like
someones ATV course (homemade) and through an empty field, and down to the main
road. The reason we thought this was a good idea, was because the road was
steep, but through the field, it wasn't as steep. So Elder Cosman and I took off
on an adventure down to the main road. To all you Cartoon Network fans, I did
indeed say to my companion, "It's ADVENTURE TIME!" He thought I was crazy and
weird. haha
On the way down through this ATV course, we got mud on our shoes, panets,
and socks. I felt so epic! When we got to the field, it was a cotton field, so
my jacket and parts of my pants were completely covered in little pieces of
cotton. By the time, we got back to our apartment, we looked like we were
homeless missionaries begging for food. (which if you think about that....that
defines a missionary right there haha) We told one another that we should
probably stick to the road next time unless there is dry and clear ground.
haha
In closing I want to share with ya'll the compliment I got from a member at
a dinner appointment the other day, she looked at me (she is older) and told me
that she noticed that I was loosing weight! :D This got me so excited! I did
feel and see that I have gotten a little thinner but not to much. I jumped on
the scale the next day, and to my surprise, I gained 6-10 pounds in the past 10
months of my mission. Which is actually really good, but I don't want the extra
weight! haha How does it work that I am loosing body fat but yet gaining weight?
This boggles my mind! haha I know what you are all going to say, " That means
you are gaining muscle! Muscle weighs more!" Which is true, but I still have the
same sissy muscles I had before I left haha I can promise you that. ;)
Anyways in closing, I wanted to let you all know that I love you! and that
today, Monday, the 18th of November, I am learning how to knit from a member!
and yes it is a manly thing to do! xD haha Well kinda....I am still going to
learn though! haha
Love yas!

**Side note from his mom - These pictures make him look HUGE, his shirt is way too big that he is wearing. Since he mentions his weight in this email, I had to side note that - he has lost weight, these pictures look the opposite. Sigh.
